RAINBOW
RECORDS
Independent
label: Rainbow Records. This particular Rainbow label seems to have
issued only two singles. First out was 'Heartbreak Kid', by Rikki and the
Numbers (RAIS-1001; 11/77), which was produced by Gary Benson. Then came
Sheila McKinley's 'Goodbye My Love' (RAIS-1002; 1978), which had another
producer who was no stranger to the Charts - Jim Capaldi. Despite having
that kind of talent on board, neither Rainbow single made any great impression
on the music world. Distribution of the Numbers single was by CBS; I've
seen it described as a cross between Punk and Pub Rock, but any Punk getting
hold of it would be sadly disappointed - it's more like accomplished
second-division Rock. There was another - more brightly coloured -
Rainbow label in the 1980s. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The
Info.
